Event bridges tech startups and capital

A specialized industrial financial matchmaking event was recently held at the T3·sp@ce Industrial Innovation Park in Bao’an District.

The gathering was co-hosted by the Bao’an District Enterprise Service Center, the Qianhai Investment Promotion and Enterprise Service Center, the Shenzhen Airport Aviation City Development Co. Ltd., and the Bao’an District Industrial Investment Guidance Fund. It created a targeted “industry + capital” platform designed to break down information barriers and connect park enterprises with venture capital firms, government guidance funds, and industrial capital.

As one of the core aviation hubs in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the Shenzhen airport is accelerating the coordinated development of multiple economic zones. According to a representative from Shenzhen Airport Aviation City Development Co. Ltd., the T3·sp@ce Industrial Innovation Park and the Hangcheng Zhigu Industrial Park have already attracted industry leaders like Shenzhen Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, and China Southern Airlines, alongside their upstream and downstream partners. The influx has formed a robust airport-based industrial cluster dominated by aerospace, intelligent equipment, and robotics. Demand for capital matchmaking in these industrial parks has grown increasingly urgent.

During the roadshow session, five companies specializing in the low-altitude economy and intelligent technology took the stage. They presented projects that covered key sectors of the low-altitude economy, including intercity high-speed drone logistics, single-duct tail-sitter VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) fixed-wing drones, tilt-rotor drones, AI-driven eVTOL aircraft, and intelligent robots. Team members of the projects boast technical expertise in the aerospace field, with backgrounds covering civil aviation airworthiness, flight control R&D, and aviation communication.

Some of these projects have already completed successful mergers and acquisitions of high-quality industry assets, establishing mature commercial scenarios and healthy cash flows, while others possess official civil aviation qualifications and have begun routine flight route operations.

Representatives from dozens of investment institutions, including CDF Capital, Sihai New Materials Fund, and Qinquan Capital, attended the event. Investors engaged in detailed discussions with the roadshow teams, focusing on critical topics such as mass production schedules, airworthiness certification pathways, and market barriers, highlighting the high investment value of the low-altitude economy and the effectiveness of the platform in bridging the gap between park enterprises and the capital market.
